b"The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) encourages parents to share meditation with their children and teachers to incorporate mindfulness training into their lesson plans. The simple act of teaching children how to stop, focus, and just breathe could be one of the greatest gifts you give them.\\nMy guest, Jackie Stewart, is fascinated with the human mind and understanding how our perceptions impact our present experience.
